Huh. Something someone said that went by on my timeline made me go look it up and I am pretty sure I qualify for Italian citizenship by descent because my great-grandfather didn't naturalize until after my grandfather was born

okay look I have already had Bruce Cockburn's "Get Up Jonah" stuck in my head for the past 10 months but this is getting a little ridiculous

biting my lip to not snark "but did they control for the Benadryl" (yes this is a joke) (for the people who don't get it: the studies linking long-term Benadryl use and dementia risk didn't control for the insomnia/untreated MCAS participants were using it for)

This is an *excellent* piece about how systemic accessibility failures happen and what we can all do to stop them from happening as often, to which I would add:

oh dear, lol

Extra love to all my Jewish friends today

Because everything is terrible and a lot of people are struggling, I'm sharing a resource that has helped a friend of mine tremendously with their sobriety, for those who also find 12-step based programs completely offputting: lifering.org

Periodic reminder: sanitize your phone and phone case!

Holy SHIT they've identified an actual biomarker!!!

credit to them, they did acknowledge they were a dipshit

Oh honeybear, I don't mean keyboard jockey poasting for great aktivismz. I mean a literal lawsuit filed in a literal federal court. Like www.courtlistener.com/docket/66636.... Or www.courtlistener.com/docket/68097.... Or www.courtlistener.com/docket/68139...

Show me your name and wet signature on a lawsuit brought against a state that has passed one of these laws, "booboo". I'll show you mine and we can compare which of us has a higher count on getting them overturned.

it's really brave of you to volunteer other people to pay millions of dollars in fines and/or serve jail time for disobeying laws you couldn't even be arsed to fight when we all warned you about them while they were being passed

Seriously, I mean it when I say that y'all bragging about how much better your countries are than the US about food safety need to look up your actual instance rates of listeriosis before you start taking a victory lap.

Happy Mountain Day!

Given the controlling precedents here and the underlying facts of the case, I actually think this is the correct decision and the opinion is pretty good at explaining the balancing test that controls

the law of the short underpass is, at least, immediately self-enforcing

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

the Masque of the Woke Death

“The Riyadh Comedy Festival” should be a Comic Strips Presents… episode about a group of edgy comedians staying at the same luxury hotel for the festival, all trying to out ‘edge’ each other and terrified of appearing woke, while also panicking as members of their group start disappearing.

I love how people are acting like this is Bluesky's idea when once again, every website on the internet is going to either be doing this or geoblocking the state by next month because THE STATE PASSED A FUCKING LAW SAYING THEY HAVE TO

I thought of *several* of you when I saw this

*endless screaming*

My GP in messaging just now after I updated her on the progress of the quest chain plus last night's discovery: "I'm not sure what to say about that blood pressure change, except, please don't do that." (I can imagine her face exactly, heh.)

lolsob I celebrated too soon, not even the otolaryngologist can get me straight to the boss fight without TWO underboss fights first and the first appointment the first underboss has is February. but at least I can now get the first underboss fight to schedule me, which I couldn't before!

I love my wife for many reasons but her ability to look at my experimental design and say "swap steps 2 and 3" and be correct is way high up there

You know, after 40-mumble years I really thought I was at the point where I couldn't be shocked at the wacky stunts my fucking meatsack pulls anymore, and yet

Timeline cleanser 🐈

This IS a great headline and also: Seattle! Get the word out! Someone was exposed to rabies and needs to seek medical care IMMEDIATELY!

Every year I vow I will keep an eye out for the country club asshole neighbors' permit application for their end of September fireworks just so I can oppose it and every year I forget and am caught off guard by their random ass fireworks

"So, what I'm saying is, I don't want to go fuck a jar of bees, but I have to go fuck a jar of bees."

Boosting because I think I know a few T&S dev specialists who are looking!

Me: Hmm, I am feeling it might be nap time. Naomi: Or it could be "pet Naomi" time.

God I love the Onion

lollllllll

More science good news!! A temperature-stable, single injection rabies vaccine is in animal trials and they hope to move to human trials soon. This would be a fucking game changer for vaccination programs!

Yesterday Phil was messing with hole, today the professionals are messing with pole (the electrical company is replacing the temporarily-patched electrical pole across the street)

Holy SHIT: Phase I/II study for a gene therapy for Huntington's (a truly evil disease) just got to first readout with a 60% slowing of disease progression as measured in total functional capacity at 36 months: www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

lol. not 100,000 SIM cards!!! (This is tiny compared to some of the networks out there. It almost certainly was fraud factory infrastructure for rent. They are overhyping this discovery like whoa. Whoever racked it has excellent cable wrangling skills, though.)

Does anyone have a link at hand to the third party tool that will convert a reading list to a moderation list for you? I can't find it again myself
